Xarelto Linked to Serious Bleeding Incidents and Deaths

The blood thinner Xarelto was hailed as a new generation of anticoagulant to help those who suffer from atrial fibrillation and other health problems. But it didn’t take long before reports of serious complications and even deaths began to surface.

Because Xarelto must thin the blood to do its job, users are at risk of severe and unstoppable bleeding because the blood cannot clot. Food and Drug Administration reports and media accounts link Xarelto to thousands of complications in users.

These medical emergencies place a terrible strain on victims and their families. That’s why the pharmaceutical drug attorneys at Pittman Dutton & Hellums want to help your family if this has happened to you.

FDA Recorded 2,750 Complications in Just 15 Months

According to FDA statistics published by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices, between January 2012 and March 2013:

151 deaths were linked to Xarelto

2,750 complications were documented in that same time period

That’s not all. Media reports also indicate that Xarelto may be responsible for 130 deaths in Germany.

Many of those affected by these tragedies are taking legal action against the makers of Xarelto to have their suffering recognized.

No Antidote

Xarelto’s danger lies in its anticoagulant properties. This is a problem with all blood thinners.

The go-to blood-thinner for decades, warfarin, has an antidote that can be taken to allow the blood to clot in an emergency. There is no such antidote for Xarelto.

Gastrointestinal bleeding, rectal bleeding or brain bleeding can continue indefinitely in Xarelto users. Injuries that might be treatable in others can be much more serious if the injured person is taking Xarelto. Additionally, the lack of an antidote might limit the options of doctors and surgeons in the emergency room.
